Panel Discussion

Effectively addressing sustainability challenges in emerging and developing economies in the post-pandemic digitalization era requires responsible transition to new normal i.e. digitalization of economic, academic and social activities. Work from home, learn from home and online businesses are the ways by which governments can enable eco-friendly and inclusive socioeconomic opportunities. A quadruple helix model of coordination between government, academia, industry and civil society has the potential to help attain such responsible digitalization in emerging and developing economies where large part of sustainability challenges exist.

Yet another shining part of 6th IRC-Indonesia Chapter is its flagship panel discussion namely, Great Debate, whereby the panelists from govt, industry, academia and civil society will share their scholarship and experience to reconcile over sustainability issues in emerging and developing economies. The panel discussion is part of the plenary session of the conference. This year the Great Debate is titled as:
